They were a cert for my vote because I want to punish the Tories. They're now 50/50 with not voting at all just because their spokespeople - apart from Farage, who I rate - are just so awful!

Patrick O'Flynn is untrustworthy. And that shrieking moron Louise Bours - if I hear her on a panel show once more between now and May then they can kiss my vote goodbye.

Comprehensives, teach you everything necessary for life in the world. They teach you not to expect anything, how to take it out on others less fortunate than yourself, and that there's a important difference between being molested and raped.

1) Bunch of f*cking cowards.

2) Why do the public care so much about keeping the health service nationalised while pretty much everything else is being outsourced? We apparently are the biggest market in the world at the moment for outsourcing public assets. We've seen the bizarre decision to privatise the East Coast Mainline despite the massive profits it turns over, the absolute shambles of privatising the postal service, and before people say the NHS is more important because it is a matter of life and death, what about the multi-national energy companies that are literally killing people with their price rises?

If any government genuinely wants to get rid of the deficit through austerity they're going to have to outsource parts of the NHS, unless they sell off pretty much everything else. So either have the bollocks to do it, or admit that the economic policies in this country are so inconsistent and useless that we have to look at doing something else, because that deficit isn't going down.

Why cowards? If this is true, Nigel Farage is voicing a personal opinion that is contrary to his party's policy which, because of a democratic decision party policy has been formed, he is supporting because he follows the direction of his party membership.

That is not cowardice. If true, that is ballsy. Could you imagine David Cameron stating it is his personal opinion that capital punishment should be brought back or Nick Clegg saying he disagrees with gay marriage but both saying hey will follow party policy? No.

I actually agree with you last paragraph. We do need to have a debate in this country about economic policies because the way things are, the NHS and the wider welfare bill, particularly pensions, are reaching tipping point because of a growing and ageing population.

Our welfare policy is stuck in the 1950s. No one in the mainstream parties has had the balls to face up to this. I believe that we will have to look at all options available to the country to pay for this in the coming years and whether people like it or not, private health insurance will be one of those options. I am not saying I am supporting this or not before the usual suspects say that I am looking to marginalise the poor and send parts of the country back to living standards described in a typical Dickens novel. However, it is something that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
